MadCat52 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 The one car per garage rule could be challenging given we normally have 4 cars per garage. Are we getting more garages than usual? If not and the proposal is to use the paddock area behind the garages for track cars, can we agree to leave towing vehicles and trailers in the upper paddock area for the Brands day?Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team Simon Maitland Posted May 30, 2020 Leadership Team Share Posted May 30, 2020 Yes Bob I agree re parking in the Upper Paddock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark w Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 How will this be policed ?Its been difficult to actually reach a garage sometimes in the past due to trailers and non track cars being in the way .Will MSV have someone stopping non track cars using the tunnell ?

Leadership Team Simon Maitland Posted May 31, 2020 Leadership Team Share Posted May 31, 2020 Some people will no doubt come into the Paddock to unload their cars and then we (The Trackday Organising Team) will be asking them to move their tow cars and trailers out of the paddock.

Mark w Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 The MSV rules speak about one car and Two people max per single garage . if your allowed two people in a single garage personally I don't see any issue having two Caterham cars per garage provided the owners adhere to social distancing . Such an arrangement might help with the use of overall space . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Lowe Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I would be quite happy to park in the Upper Paddock and drive back and forward through the tunnel for each sessionAs long as it's not raining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Lowe Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Well that didn't get much of a reaction did it?Spoken to a couple of the others that are going and they seem to agree that as the weather looks to be dry it might be a nice idea to have a social distancing L7C get together in the main paddock (lower as not on such a slope) rather than use the restricted garage space. What does everyone else think? Simon, James? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leadership Team Simon Maitland Posted June 19, 2020 Leadership Team Share Posted June 19, 2020 Hello GuyWe have garages 23 to 32, the last 10 garages, so we are at the end ( Clarke Curve end) of the garages. I have arranged for us to also have the area immediately behind these garages for us and our Caterhams. So you can get chairs etc out, respecting social distancing, so we can all be in the same area. So my thinking was we could have our cars lined up behind the garages so we were all in the same area and respecting social distancing could chat. The car in the garage could head out to go on track for our sessions and the cars behind that garage could follow and the reverse when we come back in.We will need to leave our tow cars and trailers in the lower paddock (so the is enough room for us all behind the garages) and then drive our Caterhams through the tunnel and park in or behind our garages ( only one car per garage).Does that make sense?Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team Shortshift Posted June 19, 2020 Leadership Team Share Posted June 19, 2020 Great idea!Looks like I'm in for a heavy day of carpark marshalling (as well as strutting around with my enormous, intimidating spirit level)...

Guy Lowe Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Simon, whilst that does make sense for the brave soles who drive to the event, the trailer trash prefer to keep tools, petrol, sandwiches etc. in their tow cars/vans/campervans/motorhomes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team Simon Maitland Posted June 19, 2020 Leadership Team Share Posted June 19, 2020 Over to you Guy. I am going to take my tools etc upto the garage area and then go to the lower paddock and unload my Caterham and leave the trailer and tow car and drive the Caterham through the tunnel and upto the garage area to be with the rest of the gang.

Mark w Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I am with Simon on this and will mix ( at a suitable distance ) with those closest to the action near the pit garages . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team Shortshift Posted June 19, 2020 Leadership Team Share Posted June 19, 2020 Ah - now I understand the difference between what Simon and Guy were proposing... Sorry. I will be staying (with my spirit level, peaked cap, Official Clip Board and sandwiches) in the area that Simon has indicated, close to our allocated garaging and parking area. Hopefully others will bring fold-out chairs and so on. Maybe get a camp-fire going, have a singalong, etc.James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
